Hi my hubby came from Acjs.

If I wanna get my son in via 2a..can I choose between acjs and Acps...or just acjs? Thanks.

No, u can't choose.
Must come from that particular primary school that he had ever studied in, before : either ACS junior or Barker primary.

Not the Secondary school.
Secondary school don't count

Is the primary school that matter
See what is the name appearing on his primary school report card.
This will be the primary school that u can register your child into, via phase 2A.

Thanks. Acjs then.

Yes, enrol your son into ACS Junior, under Phase 2A.


At end of P3 : there is a screening Gep test.
If he can clear 2 round of Tests, he has priority to transfer into ACS Barker primary, for (P4 to P6) Gep curriculum programme.

If we buy or rent a property within 1km of ACSP, we will register under phase 2C. Just would like to check, based on 2014 record, did all the applicants within 1km secure places in ACSP?


My husband was from ACS Secondary but not ACSP. Therefore, we are not qualified to register under phase 2A.

Many thanks!

based on 2014 statistics,


a) ACS (Barker) primary (Methodist school)
Phase 2B : 32 vacancies, 35 registered

Phase 2C : 30 vacancies, 54 registered
balloting required for SC, outside 2 km

so i guess if you are within 1km and ur child is SC, theres no need for balloting if you are under phase 2C.

hope that helps!

everything depend on luck.
a lot of them rent a unit and try their luck, but I would say that, ACSJ stand a better chance. therefore, pls rent a unit that was within 1km between jnr and barker, at least u ve alternative choice.

In ACSJ,

- any chance SC living >2KM get seat in 2B?
- will there be more competition in 2B which end up balloting?

any thoughts?

if you wish to compare only the Mainstream portion, particularly from mid (P4 to P6), in both ACS primary schools -
perhaps may borrow your friends' ACS children (P4 to P6) notes, English composition & Chinese 作 文 (both class compo exercises and compo Tests) & subject Tests papers for Chinese, English, Science, Maths,
take a look, do a comparison yourself : assess what is the difference in Mainstream standard (if any) between these 2 schools ?
